While I was looking at the release schedule and considering that we are not in a traditional patch cycle, I am wondering if SE will have a patch 6.6 to fill in the extra time gap and give them an extra hour of MSQ time to better prep for 7.0.

My estimates:
Patch 6.4 - May 23rd, 2023
Patch 6.5 - Sept 12th, 2023
Patch 6.6 - Jan 16th, 2024
Release 7.0 - May 9th, 2024

I am projecting May 9th as SE's fiscal Q1 for 2024 starts in April and May 9th would be approximately 4 months from my projected 6.5's release date. I know this is all speculation, but the numbers line up and having a patch 6.6 would prevent us from having an 8-month content gap from the last MSQ patch to 7.0 release.

What are your thoughts?
